The Boy in the Striped Pajamas - It’s been a while since I’ve seen a film that didn’t have a happy ending. I prefer films that are truer to life. We don’t always get what we want or things turn out differently than we expected.
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is an incredible film with an ending I was not expecting. It’s the story of a family that finds out the truth about the Nazi prison camps. The story delves into the psyche of six family members and how their beliefs are changed and twisted by a turn of events.
If you love foreign films you are going to enjoy this movie. If you like dramas based on historical events you’ll love this film, which stars, David Thewlis and Vera Farmiga.
Another film that I watched this week was A Single Man. It’s based on a book and directed by Fashion Designer Tom Ford. A Single Man looks at the life of a man who loses his lover of many years and how he copes with being single. A female lover he once had wants to rekindle the flames, but he’s not focused on that. Julianne Moore is exquisite in the supporting role of the female friend. Dated pieces work so well for her. She was born to wear costumes.
Colin Firth is The Single Man. Reflecting on his past and wondering if he has a future as he prepares to end his life.
This is a must see for film lovers.
Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind and do come back again.
